Here's My Ten Cents; My Two Cents is Free

Listening to Ben Stein's commentary this morning (gotta love his monotone!) about his shrink's ideas as to who is happiest in life - which would be those who 'choose to live life' -- those who take risks and pursue college majors that they enjoy - not those that their parents suggest,

reminded me that I've been wanting to do a new regular feature: Carma's Life Lessons.

As an old broad, I've been around for a while and made many mistakes so I figured I'd share some in life lesson format.

Are you still awake???

The first lesson will be last week's lesson: If you continue to be responsible for everyone else's happiness, prepare to live an unhappy life.

And here's Lesson #2:

If you continually pick apart your appearance (possibly your nose that you hate) - don't be surprised if somewhere out of the blue the least likely person comes out with the exact same comment, the lesson being: Don't point out your own flaws; there are plenty of people waiting to do that for you; They don't need any help!

I totally agree! Especially with the first one...trying to make everyone else happy is bad on a person. I think you have to make yourself happy then that will come along with it.....I wish I took my own advice.

Truth on both accounts. I really need to apply the first one. I feel so compelled to make sure that everyone is having a good time, no one's feelings are hurt and that everybody is happy. It bites me more times than I can count.
